This Saturday, November 22nd at Liverppool’s Echo Arena Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing presents an evening of big time boxing with 9 fights, headlined by the all British grudge match between Tony Bellew and Nathan Cleverly. Six of the matches are listed at the sport books and reviewed in the blog below, though the only truly close line is in the main event.
Cleverly and Bellew met once before, and that match saw Cleverly walk away with a Majority Decision. For this weekend’s bout Bellew is paying back at (-105) currently, with Cleverly at (-115), so the match is as tight as you can get. It is clear that Bellew has grown as a fighter and in confidence, while Cleverly is still trying to recover his strong mindset after he was stopped by rugged Russian Sergey Kovalev. The first fight was at Light Heavyweight, and the general impression of many British fans is that it has been Bellew who has been most impressive since both joined the Crusierweight ranks.
